About Monopoly in the Park

There's nothing like it anywhere in the world. At 930 square feet, this incredible rendition of a worldwide favorite pastime has the exclusive authorization of Parker Brothers. It's presented in a beautiful public setting that includes a theme garden, plans for an amphitheater, and promises to be a great recreational draw for the "Capital of Silicon Valley.".

Monopoly in The Park is brought to you by Friends of San Jose Beautiful, a non-profit group formed to support the

   

projects of San Jose Beautiful, who works hard to improve your city, parks and neighborhoods.

Monopoly in the Park will turn Guadalupe River Park into a place the whole family can enjoy. It will help attract visitors from other areas, enrich our local economy, and serve as a great venue for Friends of San Jose Beautiful to raise money to augment community grants, educational programs and other worthwhile community activities.
